Australia’s Deakin University, that features in the top one percent universities worldwide, is all set to open its GIFT City Campus in India in the upcoming year.
As the first ever international university to set up a campus in India, the institution said it would offer on-demand, progressive courses equipping graduates with future-ready skills.
Applications for the initial programs, Master of Business Analytics and Master of Cyber Security (Professional), were announced last month and the admissions team have started short-listing potential candidates for the inaugural intake of students commencing July 2024, a release noted.
According to the release, Deakin's GIFT City Campus will provide the same standard of education as Deakin's Australian campuses. All courses offered at GIFT City align with Australia's national accreditation body, the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA).
“This is going to be an Australian university operating in India, with Australian characteristics, but an Indian culture. The two coming together to create something that is Deakin, but different. It is very exciting,” Professor Iain Martin, vice-chancellor, Deakin University said.
“Through its GIFT City Campus, Deakin University will directly support India’s rapid advancement as a digital economy with an industry-ready workforce base suitably skilled and geared for challenges. The campus will deliver beyond the promises to generate lasting future outcomes,” remarked Ravneet Pawha, Vice-President (Global Alliances) and CEO (South Asia), Deakin University.
